About My Work

"I'm about shape and form ....."

I work in cone 6 porcelain and white stoneware, and fire in an electric kiln. The pieces themselves are diverse, to say the least. My reputation initially established itself around pastel glazes flowing across platters and bowls in abstract landscapes and color fields. Several of these pieces were featured for the first time in the October 1984 issue of House Beautiful Magazine and, subsequently, my work has been featured in that magazine five more times since. Most pieces are "thrown soft slab", but I work at the wheel as well.

Basically I'm self taught, but have taken many workshops with some of the best in the field. These have had enormous influence on my work and philosophy.

More recently, clay has become my medium for expressing my ideas, philosophy, and where I am at this point of time in my life. Developing an idea, or theme, into a body of work and then growing with the fruition of that expression is most satisfying.
